Karla Dornacher is an Acquaintance of mine. She lives here in Vancouver. She use to come to my Christian Book
Store and do book signings for me. She is such a sweet sweet lady. I have been to her home several times.
I totally did not know she had a color book out. I am so excited. I will have to go check it out.
Lucky you CJ...I hope you enjoy her art work as much as I do. She is an awesome Christian Sister with a lot of
Spiritual Depth.
Love and Hugs,
Peggy

CJ and other Color Artists...Karla has several coloring books on Amazon. I ordered the one CJ got!
Also saw the same cute tin of Prisma Colors you received but I found a tin that size with water coloring
pencils for hair tints and face/body tints so I ordered that. Pretty much used up my $25.00 Amazon Gift
card on those two items but both looked like a great addition to my supplies. Thanks for Sharing CJ.
Anybody else get some great coloring supplies for Christmas????
Hugs and Joy,
Peggy

Beautiful and vibrant colors CJ. Your Picture is Gorgeous.
I'm kind of like you...once I do an intricate coloring page like this one you did
then I want to do one or two simpler ones in between.
Going to once again attempt to post some of my Christmas Ones. Hold your breath girls and cross
your fingers and stand on one foot. ROFLOL!
One successful post! Woot Woot!!!
I'm on a Roll Now Girls...LOL
Not Christmas but one I'm working on now.
OK...all I could find currently. I'm claiming success on this try. Will go for more later!
Hugs,
Peggy

My niece and her mom gave my daughter an "adult" coloring book for Christmas. We love it! I am so glad this is a trend, and hopes it stays. It is relaxing.

Nicole...please post a picture or two for us to see.
CJ...I got my Karla Dornacher Coloring Book today. I Love it...even though it is
very small (not very many pictures in it) but I did color one today. Will post
tonight or tomorrow. ~ How would you like to do a Picture Challenge??? You pick one
picture from her book that we both will color and then we can post our pictures.
It will show others how there is no right or wrong way to color. We each have different
visions of how a picture should look. What do you think? Are you game???
Love and Hugs,
Peggy

Peggy, your heart is beautiful! I'm going to post a pic of the one I finished, too!
Let's just go with whenever we get them done, that way if life throws distractions we're not in trouble. But since her pages are easy and you're fast, I'm guessing it won't take long for us to finish them!

I love the softer looks with colored pencils. The first one I did with fine tip markers I did not like at all.

CJ...love love love that picture!!!!! 
I like the softer colors in that too.
Unfortunately I started my tea picture in gel pens. My next picture I will try with my
Prima Pencils.
Yes, let's just post when we complete our pictures... NO Pressure that way.
